NSV: Updating my Ticker

krisjohnson121

I started MFP about 4 months ago at a little over 200 lbs. I was so depressed! Creating my profile was difficult and losing any kind of weight seemed so far off. So I put in the goal of 160 lbs thinking that I could never make it.

So here I am today - not quite at 160... so why am I posting a success story - because today I know I can make it. Today I did some research and my ideal body weight is 145 lbs. At 145 lbs I will have a healthy BMI and body fat percent.

So today I have updated my ticker - to the 145 lb ideal goal that I know I can reach. I updated my ticker to show my actual weight because I am very proud of where I am today. I updated my ticker to not focus on how far I need to go but instead how much I have accomplished.

MFP has been a great source of support. While I know I can reach my goal - I also know that this is because of all the motivation and support that I receive here. So please friend me - I still need support and am happy to offer support, motivation and advice to anyone who needs it!
